Abstract: The invention resides in treating an image-wise exposed and colour developed photographic element with a bleaching agent and a fixing agent. The fixing agent comprises an aliphatic thiol as accelerator. The accelerator present in the fixing agent both stabilizes the fixing agent so that it can be used commercially and prevents staining resultant upon the degeneration of the thiol in the bleach fix bath. The invention also provides a means for efficient silver removal from the fixing bath thereby obviating a separate silver removal stage.

Abstract: The invention concerns a steering device for a sports bicycle with grips (2) secured to the handlebar and projecting forward in the direction of travel and forearm supports (10) also secured to the handlebar. In order to suit this steering device better to the individual body mass of the rider, the invention proposes that the forearm supports (10) be adjustable in relation to their fixing to the handlebar. The possible adjustments of each forearm support (10) comprise shifts along and transversely to the direction of travel and in the height and rotation in relation to a vertical axis.

Abstract: Procédé d'analyse de groupes de relèvements (A, B, C et D) obtenus de sources éloignées par un réseau de postes de radiogoniométrie. Chaque relèvement comporte une erreur ±E et un procédé de triangulation est utilisé pour établir la position des sources. Une combinaison de relèvements est obtenue, à raison d'un relèvement par station. Chaque relèvement de la combinaison est utilisé tour à tour comme un rayon (30) dirigé vers une source. Le procédé de triangulation produit une barre (31, 32, 33) de points d'intersection le long du rayon pour un relèvement de la combinaison sur deux, chaque barre correspondant à l'erreur ±E d'un relèvement sur deux. Le nombre de chevauchements entre des paires de barres le long d'un rayon est totalisé pour produire une valeur de rayon. Les valeurs de rayons pour tous les rayons de la combinaison sont ajoutées pour former une valeur de fiabilité de repérage pour une source qui peut être associée à la combinaison ou au groupe de relèvements. Des procédés destinés à rejeter de repérages redondants associés à des sous-ensembles de relèvements à l'intérieur d'un groupe sont aussi décrits.

Abstract: Processes are provided for removal of cells as cell pellets from liquid milk samples, or from cultures or extracts of other food materials or other materials of biological origin. The concentrated cells in the pellet can be analyzed by various techniques to determine the relative cell count, such as by lysing of the cells followed by measurement of ATP. Nucleic amplification, as by the polymerase chain reaction method, can be carried out using the cellular pellet directly, without need for isolation of nucleic acid from the cells. After the amplification, an assay can be carried out for amplified nucleic acid segment indicative of the presence of cells of interest in the sample. The invention thus provides methods for obtaining cellular components from samples of milk, and cultures or extracts of other materials, including food materials, and for determining relative contamination of milk and such other materials by microorganisms. The invention also provides kits for carrying out its various methods.

Abstract: Amplificateur à vitesse de réponse variable (26) dans l'étage d'entrée d'un circuit d'amplificateur (10) permettant de réduire l'interférence de la fréquence du canal décalé. Lorsque des séquences d'essai sont introduites dans un circuit d'amplificateur, pour servir à mesurer les niveaux d'entrée maximum autorisés pour l'amplificateur (34), l'introduction d'un amplificateur à faible vitesse de réponse dans la boucle d'entrée empêche ensuite la production d'une interférence de la fréquence du canal décalé provoquée par la séquence d'essai introduite. L'amplificateur à vitesse de réponse réglable (26) fonctionne à pleine vitesse de réponse, ce qui assure une amplification de toute la largeur de bande, pendant les périodes normales de fonctionnement du circuit.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus has a display section for displaying an image or other data. The display section including scanning electrodes and signal electrodes which are arranged to cross each other to form a matrix of pixels, and a ferroelectric liquid crystal filling the gap between the scanning electrodes and the signal electrodes. The ferroelectric liquid crystal has first stable states in alignment with the direction of an electric field. The apparatus has a circuit for applying a reset pulse (A) to a selected scanning electrode so as to reset all the pixels on the scanning electrode into the first stable state, and a circuit for applying at least writing pulse (B to D) following the reset pulse so as to write the data in such a sequence that the writing into the pixel having the highest inversion threshold level is conducted first. The apparatus also has a control circuit for controlling the timing of application of the pulses in such a manner that a time interval not shorter than a relaxation time, which is the time required for the liquid crystal to be set again to a state exhibiting the same inversion threshold value as that exhibited before the application of the immediately preceding pulse, is preserved between successive pulses. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An onboard system for use in measuring, computing and displaying the gross weight and location/relocation of the center of gravity, for aircraft. Temperature and pressure transducers are mounted in relation to each of the landing gear struts. Transmit those temperature and pressure signals to an onboard microcomputer/controller with redundancy for accuracy and failure protection. The system also incorporates a software correction program, along with attached hardware, to correct and compensate for physical changes to strut components due to temperature fluctuations, seal drag and hysteresis within modern day "shock absorbing" aircraft landing gear struts. The computer makes adjustments for internal temperature changes and drag; converts sustained pressures to the weight supported by each strut, and computes the aircrafts current gross weight and center of gravity. The computer is also programmed to illuminate a "Hard Landing Indicator Light" mounted on the display, when pre-programmed individual strut pressure limits are exceeded and sensed during landing. These pressure readings are stored in the computer memory and can be utilized when the aircraft is inspected and serviced.
